We are coming into the guts of the Xmas period now and while I don’t particularly enjoy any facets of Xmas, I have been know to partake in a quiet ale from time to time. We now need to answer this long debated question

What is the best hangover cure?

Here are some suggestions I have heard / tried before

Drink Coke – A suggestion made by the Coca-Cola company I am sure. This doesn’t work, if you think it works let me know and you will be entered into the notasmartman hall of fame.

Vegemite on Toast – I have tried it and found it difficult to get through the dry toast. The theory is that the vitamin B from the vegemite replenishes your systems vitamin B after the previous nights pizzling.

Grease / Bacon and Eggs – If you have the ability to go into your kitchen and cook this sort of thing up with a ‘hang over’ then I have some news for you, YOU DON’T have a hang over. If you have a real hangover you cannot cook this sort of thing. If you are able to purchase greasy food from the local snack shop then this cure works ok.

Berocca – This seems to work ok but does not make you feel 100%. Your pee also turns a weird colour. Having a Berocca the night before is said to work but I have never been able to remember to do this.

Orange Juice – Supposed to replenish lost vitamin C. In my opinion this Orange juice just makes you feel worse. It doesn’t mix well with other drinks or food.

Milk / Chocolate Milk – Is supposed to make you feel better. Unless it is icy cold this just makes me feel queasy. I must admit, some ice coffee I had the week of the Melbourne cup went down a treat…. I was still hung over afterwards though.

Milk does NOT work as a stomach lining if taken the night before. This is a high school rumour that I can confirm is false.

Fat Burger from Hungry Jacks – To the uninitiated this is called the Bacon Deluxe burger. It works a treat and is guaranteed to remove 70% of the hangover. The worse the hang over, the more fat burgers you should have. I actually grade my hangovers on a fat burger scale. The worst hang over I have ever had was a 3 fat burger.

I would be interested in any other concoctions you may have found that make the hang over ease?
